How would have implemented housing in XIV?

[Bourne_Endeavor]

Instanced neighbourhoods.

- Each person has access to an instanced house
- Estate access would allow up to 3-5 houses to load together

For those who have played The Sims 4, this is essentially where I borrowed the idea from. It keeps the community aspect, but shifts it onto player choice. Instead of having random strangers who you may never speak with, or even see, you can create a small neighbourhood with a select few friends.

If this were too big a resource strain, instanced housing would be my alternative. For cost saving measures, make Medium sized houses the only option for Personals, thus there wouldn't be a need to accommodate for thousands of Larges. Conversely, increase the size of smalls and allow for separate rooms ala FC. I really have no idea why that isn't a thing even now.
